Riding Dates: Jun 19, 2015 -- Jul 5, 2015
This was Plan A from the previous year, where we had to make do with biking from Quebec out to the tip of the Gaspe Peninsula (ok, it was not much of a hardship). But Jasper was the gold standard, where we really wanted to go, and have been trying to get to since 2010. Two takeaways after finishing: 1) traveling the Icefields Parkway in Canada, and Going-To-The-Sun were even more spectacular than we hoped, and 2) now we are spoiled for rides in North America. I can't imagine where we could go next, other than maybe Alaska or overseas. I updated a blog as I rode along. All pictures from my iphone.
